Players from the Professional Darts Corporation competed for the first time, with five PDC players invited to the event. Gary Robson, the 2005 winner, and Jelle Klaasen, the BDO World Champion, were eliminated in the first round by Simon Whitlock and Tony Eccles, respectively. The final, featuring Phil Taylor, the PDC World Champion and in his first BDO major final for fourteen years, and Martin Adams, in his second straight World Darts Trophy final, was won by Taylor, 7–2 in sets. The women's event was replaced with a junior's event, with this being the only year a junior's event took place. Ron Meulenkamp won the junior's event.
